4.1 Function
In vacuum leak detection, gas is pumped out of a test specimen and fed to the
leak detector. With the SMART-Spray, a preset amount of helium can be sprayed
onto the outside of the test block. If helium is then detected in the leak
tester, this means that the test specimen is leaking. The amount of helium
from the SMART-Spray is sufficient to detect a leak without unnecessarily
contaminating the test object with helium. As a result, the helium background
is degraded more quickly and the next test point can be tested more quickly.
The SMART-Spray can also be used as a remote control for various functions on
the UL device. The measurement of the leak detector can be transmitted
simultaneously to the SMART-Spray via Bluetooth. This function is currently
available in INFICON UL series leak detectors.

WARNING Health hazard due to escaping helium
Risk of suffocation and/or fainting due to escaping helium Only use the
appliance in well-ventilated rooms. Only use helium, no other gases.
ð To the optionally available INFICON filling station: Filling of HeliCan by
means of filling station only with HeliCan firmly screwed in. Check all
components for damage. Stop the filling process at HeliCan immediately if
there is a leak. Stop the filling process after 15 seconds at the latest.
Always remove HeliCan completely from the SMART-Spray if you want to detach
HeliCan.
Material damage due to electromagnetic magnetic fields Valves can open and
HeliCan empties. Never use the device in locations with strong magnetic fields
NOTICE Material damage due to ESD discharge
Damage caused by working in areas with a high risk of ESD discharge Observe

set the starting pressure of a newly screwed-in HeliCan or to change the
preset starting pressure, the pressure value must be read on the leak detector
display and set on the SMART-Spray before spraying begins.

6.4 Select flow rate
1 Use the arrow key [} 13]”.
to go to the Select Flow Rate see, “Display /Control Unit
2 Select the helium flow rate for the 405 ml HeliCan. S = approx 5 – 10 sccm M = approx 55 – 65 sccm L = approx 230 -260 sccm XL = approx 1000 – 1300 sccm
3 Select the helium flow rate for the 50 ml HeliCan. S = approx 5 – 10 sccm M = approx 55 – 65 sccm L = approx 1000 1300 sccm
4 Confirm the selected helium flow rate with the Zero / Set button.
5 To change the flow rate during operation, press the button . 6 Exit the menu
with the Back button.
To achieve the greatest possible savings in helium, always select the lowest
possible flow rate.
If you are spraying helium over a small area and with pinpoint accuracy, we
recommend selecting the S or M setting. If you are spraying helium over a
large area, we recommend selecting the L or XL setting.

Also refer to the operating instructions of the respective sniffer leak
detector.
7.1 Starting and stopping the UL-device
SMART-Spray must be connected to a UL series device via IFCBTDongle.
1 To start the UL series device, select “Start” in the menu. 2 To start the UL
series device, select “Stop” in the menu.
7.2 Carry out leak detection
SMART-Spray is switched on and connected to the UL series device and all
parameters are set, see “Installation [} 16]”.
The threshold value is set on the UL series device.
Spray helium by pressing the pushbutton on the SMART-Spray at the point to be
tested on the test specimen. The set spray burst is triggered. The status
light on the SMART-Spray lights up green when the spray is carried out
correctly. ð Leakage can be read on the display of the SMART-Spray and on the
display of the UL series device. ð The leakage is also indicated by an LED on
the SMART-Spray.
· Green LEDs = test specimen is OK.
· Yellow LEDs = test body shows leak within tolerance.
· Red LEDs = test body shows leak outside tolerance.
7.3 Use the Zero function
Why should I use ZERO?
The ZERO function should be used to measure small leaks more clearly. With
every leak test, there is a “background signal” that interferes with the
search for or measurement of leaks.
· To hide the background signal, activate the ZERO function. · You can also
use ZERO to hide a currently displayed leakage, which interferes
with searches for other or even smaller leaks.

A currently displayed leak is ZERO hidden through ZERO. By using the function
ZERO not only is the background signal hidden, but also the representation of
a current leak. If you want to avoid this, only activate the ZERO function if
a leak is not being
measured at the same time.
Briefly press the Zero / Set button on the control panel and ZERO is
performed. Press the Zero / Set button on the control panel for longer than 2
seconds and ZERO is deactivated.
